There is a good chance that Istanbul will return to the calendar of Formula 1 before 2020. What started as a rumor is taking more and more shape and earlier on Tuesday it was 'announced' that the circuit will return, only an official statement is still missing. If it is indeed a circuit for the 2020 calendar, then Alexander Albon is happy with it.

Istanbul is a solid circuit

He was asked during the online Red Bull press event in Spain what his thoughts are on returning to Istanbul. He said that he was very excited, he also had a compliment about Liberty Media and Formula 1, which is looking for suitable circuits to complete the calendar.

"It’s looks really cool. I’m excited", Albon starts. "I think Liberty en Formula 1 are doing an amazing job choosing these kind of circuits. I don’t know if it’s coincidence or they just choosing them because their the one that are open to races, but it’s a proper circuit."

"Obviously Mugello, Imola, Turkey, we’re going to some of the best circuits in the world. I’m all for it. I think that kind of triple, quadruple left handers will be easy flat with these cars. I think it will be fun", said the Red Bull Racing driver, who is clearly looking forward to the already confirmed and possibly additional races.
